With the Caribbean Basketball Confederation (CBC) tournament quickly approaching, the Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF) will be affording some of the country’s top players the chance to impress selectors and also stake claims to the country’s ‘Holy Grail’ of club basketball – the National Club Championship.
The highly anticipated ‘Road to Mecca V’, will bounce off on April 7 at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall with the finals slated for April 28 when the cream of the nation’s top players will be left standing.
Two-time reigning champions Colts Basketball Club will be looking for the hat trick of national titles this April
At last year’s National Club Championship, Colts retained their title after narrowly edging Linden’s Victory Valley Royals in an 85 – 83 points game thriller.
The win also saw Colts pocketing $600,000 while Royals received $400 000. In the third place playoff, Travis Burnett carried the Kobras to a third place finish a $200 000 cash prize, following their 76-75 extra-time victory over Ravens.
The GABF will send a male and female team to this year’s CBC Championship, set for neighbouring Suriname from June 15 – 22 (female) and June 25 – 29 (male).
